Workforce development theme for active-net 2017
Workforce development has been announced as the theme for active-net 2017, with bookings already being taken for the fourth annual two-day conference.
The 2017 event will take place on 29-30 March at Eastwood Hall in Nottingham, a beautiful period property set in 26 acres of spectacular grounds, just a short drive from Nottingham City Centre.
active-net brings together over 100 leading operators and suppliers within the active leisure sector for business-focused, pre-selected one-to-one meetings, together with informative educational slots, networking lunches and an evening meal.
Dave Monkhouse, director of Leisure-net, the leading customer insight provider for the active leisure sector and organiser of the active-net event said: “Sport England’s Towards an Active Nation five-year plan aims to transform delivery through a new workforce strategy. Couple that with the first anniversary of CIMSPA’s Affiliate and Practitioner scheme and active-net’s new link with the AoC Sport, and it made perfect sense to theme the entire conference around workforce development.”
The educational element of the conference will include a panel discussion with Stephanie Maurel, the Strategic Lead for People at Sport England, CIMSPA CEO, Tara Dillion and Marcus Kingwell, Managing Director of AoC Sport.
Maurel said: “Sport England is currently working on the Professional Workforce strategy for the sector, to be published in December, and we look forward to sharing the finer detail of the strategy with delegates at active-net 2017. Sport England is committed to supporting CIMSPA to become strong, independent and empowered by its members and CIMSPA will have a large role to play in this strategy going forwards.”
